My kids are well-versed in dining out. Partly because we do it twice a week. And partly because we bring them to all kinds of restaurants and teach them how to properly behave. (“Saving” their Nintendo DSs exclusively for waiting times in restaurants and doctors’ offices may have something to do with it, too.) There…

9 Things Siblings Do
Every parent knows that how a child behaves with other kids is often different than how a child behaves with a sibling. There are days when I’m exhausted before 8 am because of the fights these two have logged. And I’m regularly amazed with their skill at creating a civil war over the tiniest, most…

When Kid Spell Turns Ugly

Warning: Toddler Invasion Ahead!
In less than a month, I’ll *technically* be living the life of a mom to a kindergartner and preschooler; my “life with a toddler” days will officially be behind me.
